Daddycatcher still has to formulate his thoughts on the film version of Nine. While he’s doing that, he’ll let you look over a clip of the original production singing “Be Italian” on the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon.

The red-head is Anita Morris who originated the role of Carla, Guido’s mistress. The turban-wearing French woman is Liliane Montevecchi who originated (and won a Tony for) the role of Liliane Lafluer, Guido’s temperamental producer. The role of Liliane was changed in to movie to a costume designer and confidante played by Judi Dench.

Kathi Moss plays Sarraghina, the earthy prostitute who introduces young Guido to the wonders of sex.
